The place is located northeast of the Penschinabusen , which represents the northeastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk , a good 1100 kilometers as the crow flies northeast of the regional administrative center of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky . It is located on the right, steeper bank of the Penschina .

Kamenskoe is the administrative center of the Rajons Penschinski .

history

The present village was founded in 1930 as the administrative center for the newly created, sparsely populated Autonomous Okrug of the Koryaks . The original name was Korjakskaja kultbasa (" Korjakische Kulturbase"): A boarding school, a hospital, a veterinary station , a trading post and a radio station were built here. As early as 1937 (after an application from 1935), however, the administration was relocated to Palana , which is more conveniently located on the coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk , and since then the place has been the center of one of the four Rajons of the Autonomous Okrug, which in 2007 was kept in the Kamchatka Region while maintaining the Rajons rose. According to the Rajon designation, the name Penschinskaja kultbasa ("Penschina cultural base") was in use in the following years , until around 1950 the name of the previously existing village of Kamenskoye was transferred to the new settlement. The original village, located about 60 km west on the right (north) bank of the Penschina directly at its mouth and probably named after the Kamennaya stream (from came for stone ), which flows into the Penschinabusen a few kilometers further west , was renamed Ust-Penschino and abandoned between the 1960s and early 1980s.

Economy and Infrastructure

Kamenskoye is connected by an unpaved road to Manily , about 50 km to the west near the mouth of the Penschina, which is now the largest village in the Rajon . The slope leads over the mountains on the edge of the Oklan Plateau (Oklanskoje plato), which extends to the northwest, and rises to an altitude of more than 400  m . Because of the steep mountains dropping several hundred meters down to the Penschina, the slope could not be led along the river bank. There is no connection to the year-round drivable regional road network; a winter road leads to Tilichiki on the east coast.

An airfield that used to exist near Kamenskoye (about 10 km downstream on the left bank of the river) is out of order. There are irregular flights to the place by helicopter from Tilitschiki.
